    Default Oh no, I have the bug.

    I straight shaved for the first time today with my ODH and loved it. So what did I do when I saw this in a small shop today? I talked them down from $45 to $32 and bought it.
    Just what I need, another AD[emoji1]

    Oh man! your on a roll! Another with very little hone wear, and a big time name to boot. Frederick Reynolds are among the most desired Sheffield blades, and one of my favourites too. Scales look to be in great shape, but I suspect a great deal of rust around the pivot pin. If I were you, I'd send that one to Glen as well to work his magic on. You'll then have 2 perfect representations, of 2 different styles of straight razors. The German spike point, and the English smiling wedge.

    Thank you for confirming that this is a good one. I saw it and had a feeling. Lurking here for a while has helped.[emoji1]

    Yup, I cannot help but agree with all those points. It should make it to wow fairly easily, with all the original trimmings.

    Awesome razor! Don't have a Reynolds in the stable yet but haven't found bad Sheffield steel yet. That one is gonna hone up and shave super I'm sure!
